If you have been searching for the right trainer for your Border Collie in St. Louis, you have come to the right place. Famous for its incredible herding abilities, the Border Collie has a long history as a skilled working dog. With intelligence that can outshine that of a Poodle, Border Collies are also praised for their quick learning. Loved for both their unique, energetic personalities and adorable look, these pups are popular among American families. Like many other active and intelligent breeds, Border Collies require extensive training. At Dog Training Elite, we offer various programs that are suitable for these great dogs: puppy training, obedience and therapy animal.
Affectionate and incredibly active, Border Collies make great dogs for those that have the time to provide the right amount of attention. This breed needs exercise and plenty of it, as well as mental stimulation. The best way to keep your Border Collie mentally healthy is training. Starting in puppyhood and continuing through adulthood with advanced lessons, training will ensure your Border Collie stays mentally nimble and builds a strong, obedient relationship with you. Our talented dog trainers are experienced with this wonderful breed and are ready to assist you in training! We help transform wild, playful puppies into loving, long term family companions.

- Crate Training and house breaking

Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.
